You had the same chance to help him in dom, upvote his buildr subs, and bid up his auctions as everybody else. What is the world coming to when people won’t even read a simple clandestine tubmail with the extended contest conditions?

Nearly made myself look like I had Tourette’s there… I was testing removing the different kinds of page elements, and using replacements going from common words to allcaps profanities so they’d be obvious if it worked, and I guess taking “input” out of the list made it replace all those common words before I submitted this post…

For purposes of testing case sensitivity I made a quick ‘n dirty HTML file with different combinations of case. It doesn’t seem to be doing any replacement for me at the moment. Tried adding words I could see on Flamebate to see if it just didn’t like my html file, still nothing.

The author of the script actually mentioned it in the discussions tab. Looks like it should be as simple as removing a single letter.

There it says it’s currently case insensitive. Which is what my reading up on Javascript RegExes suggested the purpose of that “i” was. I was trying to poke it about, see if it needed an i somewhere else in those dense and inscrutable blocks of brackets and slashes to make it actually work that way.

It’s not so much the logical conclusion of such an argument, but it’s a possibility that’s left open by it – if god could have created a world with the clock already set to the year several billion, then he could equally well have created a world with the clock already set to 5 minutes ago and we’d never know the difference. But of course, “and we’d never know the difference” makes it completely untestable, unverifiable and unfalsifiable, so there’s no good reason to believe such a thing except as after the fact justification for another unsupported belief.

Blatant special pleading really – first they say the world is 6000 years old, then we provide the evidence that it looks much much older, so they claim it was created 6000 years ago with billions of years of history already in place.

I personally do not believe in either free will or consciousness in the first place nor am I a religious man, but I do find that theory to be an interesting one.

Not believing in free will I can understand; I tend to hover back and forward between thinking it’s a very persistent illusion or liking the materalist justification of free will better. But not believing in consciousness… how are you defining it that you don’t invalidate that claim for yourself every time you wake up?

[Altfail, hai guys this is man-man, you’d probably have guessed but just removing all doubt]

For simplicity’s sake I think a scale from 1 to 20 and a rough estimate would speed things up at the expense of finely-tuned accuracy.

You’re still talking about clbumifying every possible word… unless it’s done on a case by case basis when the filter is approved. That could work. Although people would probably accuse whoever does the approving (mods? or just admin… I don’t know) of bias… not that that’s anything new.

I check all the wiki pages before posting something I think might be new, but not the thread… should probably check Dunatis’ sheet instead, it’s a lot closer to complete. Or you could update the relevant pages when you extract something previously unseen, then it’d all be up to date.
